Trailing 6-3, the Yankees put their first two batters on against Chad Bradford in the seventh, but Rodriguez waved at strike three and was booed loudly. The night before, he popped out with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning of a 7-6 loss to the Devil Rays.

And not just to pick on A-Rod, who has already hit a double and a homerun today, a lot of people (I'm looking at you Scott) have picked the Yankees to win their division this year.

I know it's early in the season, but I don't see that happening with starting pitching that can barely get to the fifth inning.

Having said that: Saturday baseball thread.

(Update) A-Rod hits a bottom of the 9th, two out grand slam to win the game. New York fans will discontinue booing him until Tues 4/17 when they play Cleveland.
